“Why Lord?”
I have dealt with great things that I do not understand; things too wonderful for me, which I cannot know.
I had heard of you by word of mouth, but now my eye has seen you.
Therefore I disown what I have said, and repent in dust and ashes. Job 42:3-6
Jesus does not take away all our wounds, any more than the Father erased all of his wounds. Rather, he disinfects them and glorifies them.
For Jesus, the Resurrection was not an emergency room where the Father took away all of the signs of the Passion. Jesus rose with his wounds, wounds now transformed from darkness to light, dug into his hands in time and in pain and now become eternal fonts of light and blessing and glory.
Nor is the Resurrection Jesus’ reward for having suffered. It is rather the unstoppable explosion of glory that pours forth from Love’s triump on the Cross. - Mother Teresa: In the Shadow of Our Lady
If we could only trust Him enough to take our own hands off the wheel and “allow” Him the opportunity to be our Savior and Resurrection again.
